Evolution API

Interact with Evolution API

Actions64

Overview

This node allows you to configure temporary messages (mensagens temporárias) for a WhatsApp group using the Evolution API. It is useful for administrators who want to automatically delete messages in a group after a certain period, helping maintain privacy or reduce clutter. For example, you can set messages to disappear after 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days, or disable this feature entirely.

Practical scenarios:

Automatically remove sensitive information from group chats.
Keep group conversations clean by removing old messages.
Comply with privacy policies requiring message expiration.
